You got it! Shane had to handle that one.

Congrats on having a solid tune on it and getting nice numbers out of it!

Was the tune you rolled in on Ron's tune?

Nope, every time Shane went to tune the car we had fueling problems. He made the AFRs safe and that's what I've been hobbling around on for the last 4-5 months.

Nice, but why would you even try the 1000s?

For quite some time your choices in X injectors were 1000 and 2200 with nothing in-between. As you know, I tried the ID2000s but they never ran perfectly. Now you can get the DW1300s and the FIC Bluemax but the FIC require pigtails.

Yup, stock wheels with snows and E70. The change from 25 to 30 psi wasn't too impressive so I'm not sure that 35 would be worthwhile. Shane said he was running quite a bit of timing and didn't advise bumping the boost.

I have an Omni 4bar on the shelf but my next goal is to figure out the oil smoke-screen issue. It's enough power for me.

**scheides** · 11-18-2010

The Omni is a painless switch, LMK if you want help doing that.

Check your sig for what to do next

**scheides** · 11-17-2010

^1300's didn't exist for the X before a few months ago skippy

Finally! Congrats man! I want a ride. This is on snow tires too right? Goddamn great great numbers at only 30psi! Wonder what this thing would do at 35psi or so.... I bet on summer tires on e85 it would be a lot closer to the elusive 500; that would be pretty awesome!

Good work man, now enjoy it!

I see. Thanks for that explanation. This new car thing is a doozy.

Car looked good on teh highway, danger ranger couldn't keep it in sight for too long.

Hey do you have any graphs with boost plots? Would be cool to see those too if you don't mind

I do but I didn't want to post them. It's bad. The tubular, MX1s and ported everything had a negative impact on spool. I only had a 2psi drop at a stock redline but at 9k it was 5. I might have leaks. I dunno.

**Kracka** · 11-18-2010

Nice numbers!

**Halon** · 11-18-2010

Has anyone tried a simple MBC on an X? Wonder if it'd help at all with the loss of psi. Or is the turbo just running out of breath up there?

Either way, still a killer setup with great numbers, congrats again!

They drop boost much worse with an MBC. With an MBC in there it would probably be a straight taper from 30psi down to 20psi. He could maybe try to use an MBC in there with the BCS to try to have more duty cycle to play with liek Schiedes did, but there might not be much left in that turbo in the upper RPMs anyways.

There have been a handful of all-out BBX builds while I was busy sorting the car. One guy is running 35psi and making more torque but I think the hp number is as high as its going to go.

The 044 on a BAP should be able to handle a Black, which is the only upgrade that I'd consider.

**scheides** · 11-18-2010

Don't be ashamed! 25psi @4000rpm is dandy for that turbo! Having ported *everything* like you have will make it hard for the turbo to hold boost up top--don't worry about it, but you definitely start to look close at 7500rpm and say, 'man if I just had an extra 2psi I'd have +20whp (or whatever)....this is why I did the hybrid mbc/bcs thing, we'll see if it pays off.

Again, sweet results from a great setup! With any luck I'll be in that ballpark down the road.

**Murlo26** · 11-18-2010

Great work! Finally! I bet it feels good to finally have a proper tune! Congrats.

Don't worry about the drop in boost, mine tanks the same way...drops from 37-29psi for me, so your drop isn't so bad, lol.

I'd blame the spool on the tubular, but honestly I bet you made an extra 15+whp from it. Worth it if you ask me

Now time to stop spending money, paying off debt and enjoy the car...welcome to my world if you weren't here already

Not quite yet due to the oil burning. There also seems to be an exhaust leak at the turbo to downpipe connection, so yet another reason to have the turbo pulled. At least I can stop spending money on fueling.

I think boost is dropping so much just because the head flows so well and the motor is just gobbling it all up. The X's head flows great in stock form, when you port it with oversized valves I am sure in the upper RPMS it can ingest a shit load.

**Murlo26** · 11-18-2010

Link to a guy running 35psi on a BBX? Did i really miss that one, or maybe I just forgot.
